PAGE TOUR THE CANADIAN STATESMA PI. BOWMANVILLE~ ONTARIO THURSDAY. MARCTT Oth, 1958 EDITORIALS Beware the Centennialitis Epidemic Cali the doctor! Bowmanville citizens are in the midst of an epidemic which is more contagious than the Asiatie f lu or the seven years' itch. It is becoming wide- spread in the whole community. No rnatter whether you live in the north ward, south ward or in the suburbs of the town, you can detect the symptoms. It is called "Centennialitis", and no C«wonder drug" bas vet been discovered, to stop the hilarious pains of this exhil- arating sensation. We are informed it was first noticed in beaming counitenances and Jubilant actions of certain citizens who promoted the happ yidea that 1958 was the year that Bowmanville should celebrate its Centennial. The movement spread like wildf ire until the Mayor, Town Council, Chamber of Commerce and other public spirited citizens could stand the mental strain and irritation no longer. They gave vent to their feelings by organizing in a big way ta duly celebrate this historical occasion by holding various community events which meç~t the popular approval of every citizen. Those folks delegated ta this tre- mendous task decided on the unique idea of starting to celebrate right at the start of the Newv Year and wind up with a gala Old Home Week on dune 28 to duly 6, featuring fun. reunion and rcminiscing. Hunclreds of former c izens will receive a personal invitation to come back home for this happy get-together to meet old friends and join in the many festivities. To show how successfully the pro- gram has alr-eady been carried out, it might be weil to rev,.iew and comment here an what has already taken place. It opened on a high moral level with the Ministerial Association holding "A Week of Praver" from Jan. 6 to lth. Prominent out-of-town speakers were brought in for the meetings. The subjects of' the addresses xvere practical and timely, including Christ Speaks to Civic Govern- ment, Education. Industrial Society, H-ealth and Welfare. The final meeting's subject was "Christ Speaks to You." It was gratifying to know that ail the meet- ings were well attended. During the months of January and Fcbruary, a variety of other Centennial events were carried out in a most success- fui manner and alI were xvell attended. They incluided Hockey Day, when the U.S. National Olympic Hockey Team, now playing in Oslo, were guests. What an occasion that was! Then there were the Badminton Championships and Fancy Skating Carnival. The Royal Theatre featured- the stupendous "Ten Command- ments" movie and last week the Rotary Club put on its annual play "danuary Thaw" to capacity bouses. Ail these attractions wvere hooked up with the Centennial spirit. This month the program includes three outstandingfeatures which xill. have individual appeal to our citizens. March 2th there is the joint recîtal of aur own Ray Dudley, internationally famous pianist, and Dr. Boyd Neel, Dean of the Royal Conservatory of Music and the Hart House Orchestra of 14 members. This wonderful musical event is being sponsored by the Centennial Committee assisted by the Lions Club, in Trinity United Church. On March 21 - 23 the Central Ontario Travelling Art Display will be shown in the Lions Community Centre. Then on March 27 to 29 the dack and dili Club will present their laugh-provoking annual variety show "Cornz-A-Poppin' ". Sa there you are folks, xve are ail in for a wonderful year of memorable enter- tainment and happy reunions. Bear in mind there wan't be another Centennial Celebration for 100 years sa take full advantage of thîs ane. Watch the States- man for further Centennial events. As a final reminder, if yau haven't sent in ta the Chamber of Commerce a list of addresses of relatives or friends who formerly lived in Bowmanville, do so right away as invitations are being sent out soon ta came back for Old Home Week, dune 28 ta duly 6. Leisure as we know it is ruining us, Bruce Hutchison says in the current issue of Maclean's Magazine. The resuit cf the leisure we've won so far, this distinguished Canadian author writes, is "increasing addiction ta medical sedatives, alcohol, heurasthenia, psycho- analysis, cardiac conditions, stomach ulcérs and sex elevated into a religion". We're history's most fortunate people, }Iutchison says, but these perversions of leisure also make us its unhappiest. By heredity and temperament we're addicted to work; leisure doesn't suit us but we can't avoid it. What we urgentiy need, the author asserts, is more work. This calis f or a riew definition cf leisure: "I am arguing for longer working heurs without pay", Hutchison says. "I In Canada we are used ta pioneening; we are spared traditional ciass distinc- tions; we believe invincibly in the sovereignty cf the free individuai; aur maturing national consciousness is enrich- ed not onlY by the cultures inherited and adapted f rom Britain and f rom France but also by endcwments from numerous other racial components - qualifying us ta lcad in fashioning warld citizenship. And 1 believe it is truc cf the vast majority cf Canadians of ail racial enigins and in ail parts cf the country, that there is in comman a high seriousness cf purpose, an acceptance cf the priority cf spiritual values.

Without this definition, he says, society cemmits crimes ini the name of leisure. In many cases we destroy active men and wcmen by forcing them ta quit work at a certain age. We make the preposterous assumption that ail men should work the same heurs ne matter what jobs they are doing.

Many cf these errons in print are purely typographical - but occasionally there are mistakes which are made through lack cf full knowledge. A stery is given ta a reporter. who because cf the time element, and because cf faitb in bis source cf information, may net double check ail facts. In the case cf column wniting, a reporter is given information that may sound like interesting reading- and if the column is the type that is more for entertainment than wold-shattering significance, it is set out in a chatty or brcezy manncî'. This informal style usually results in the "I wvas misquoted" repiy. In other instances it is difficult ta cet people in officiai posts to supply informa- tion and newspapers must pnint a "report- cd" version, sametimes xith inaccuracies. This is usuailv a sure way pf unearthing the truc facts'for follow-up stenies. But mast people derive a bit of satis- faction in finding errons in the work of others. We do ourselves.

Port Hope, Ont., February 14, 1958 To the Editor, The Canadian Statesman, Dowmanviiie, Ontario Dear Sir: In tbe January 30th issue. there appeared under the hcad- ing 'Departing From Democ- racy" an article sevecly criti- cizing farmers' marketing boards. It would appear that your paper bas now jained the ranks of the metropolitan dailies who seem ta take a savage dclight in ridiculing and hinderîng grower groups who are en- deavouring ta better their lot by collective action. You do not state in your article wvhy these boards were formcd initiaily; surcly, being in the centre of an agricuiturai community. you must realize the sorely dcpressed state of the farm economy as compared to the general welfare of the na- tion; you must aiso realize that the lone individuai endeavour- ing ta look after bis own inter- ests is a voice crying in the wildcrncss of today's cconomy. You state that marketing boards are "irresponsibic" and 4. monopolistic"-this is bard ta understand xvhen it is a known fact, that marketing boards are coniprised of representative pro- ducers cf tbe commodity they are selling. These marketing board directors are eiected an- nuaily by deniocratie process- if tbey are incompetent, they can be readily remnoved from office. It furtber foilows that na director would, if only for selfisb reasons, seil goods at below market prices. It is unfortunate tbat your article is by no means specifie. You have roundly criticized ail boards whcther they are agen- cies or the negotiating. type. It would be far better ta offer con- structive criticismn of a k 'nown instance of irresponsibility, thus assisting the men who are en- deavouring ta improve farma marketing ta do a better job.

Ail contributions wilI be recelved fromn individuals and organizations both inside and outside the county by the Agricultural Representative, Mr. Oliver Dalrymple, at the Department of Agriculture office in Bowmanviile. Mr. Daîrymple bas been appointed treasurer of the Memorial Fund and flot only will al direct contributions be welcomed by him; but ail canvass- ers will pay over and account to him for ail contributions made, bath large and smali.

Chairman of tbe Mernorial Fund is Mr. Garnet Rickard, address Bowman- ville. Careful planning b as been done by the sponsor- ing group and more work ta properly administer the f-und will be required. Ail worthwhile suggestions frorn con- tributors wili therefore be welcomed. It was Mr. Sum- mers' proud dlaim and achievement that eighty-five per cent of the boys he worked with clid staiy on the farm. Your committee consequently bas this objective in view - that funds raised will be primarily directed to help the young farm boy or girl in the couty. Special considcra- tion will be given in the awardinig of any scholarship, trophy or prize, that the scrviccs of~ the boy or girl will not be lost to agriculture. Signed, GAPNET B.
